Public preview: SQL Vulnerability Assessment

Monday, September 25, 2017

SQL Vulnerability Assessment is now available for public preview.

You can use Vulnerability Assessment to track and monitor your database security settings, so that you can maintain compliance and ensure visibility and control of potential risks to the safety of your data.

Vulnerability Assessment offers a scanning service built into the Azure SQL Database service. The service employs a knowledge base of rules that identify security vulnerabilities and deviations from best practices, such as misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and exposed sensitive data. Results of the assessment include actionable steps to resolve each issue and customized remediation scripts where applicable. The assessment report can be customized for each environment and tailored to specific requirements.
